Abstract:
Cardiac imaging is crucial in the electrophysiology field, not only as a diagnostic tool but also to expand and guide interventional cardiac electrophysiology procedures. With this consideration in mind, this article aims to review the critical role of cardiac imaging in stratifying patients' risk profiles and assisting the electrophysiological procedure in various scenarios. This article also highlights the future direction within the cardiac electrophysiology field with digital twins, which incorporate cardiac imaging and clinical data to build physiologically accurate cardiac replicas to assist electrophysiological procedural planning.

Types of Echocardiography
Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for...
Cardiac Action Potential
The cardiac action potential process involves a series of phases characterized by the movement of ions across the cardiac cell membranes, leading to the depolarization and repolarization of the cardiac myocytes.
